After removing the dead hookers from your trunk, dig holes around your garden about six feet deep. Place (bury? whatever.) the hookers in the holes. Put the dirt back in the holes. Vegetables just love the nutrient rich soil and now your trunk is freed up for groceries.

It's not garbage if it's being put to good use. That said growing up with a Mom who pushed that idea pretty damn far, if you don't have a specific use and deadline then toss it. Or better yet recycle it.

Tfa:

Gallon milk jug: wash it out good, make sure to stake it in the ground, and recycle it after a year. Leaves will fall in, drainage will suck. Mosquitoes.

Bacon grease for the birds: f--king kidding me. I used to keep a bit in the fridge for boiling potatoes - a bit of grease keeps em from boiling over - til I realized a bit of butter works just as well.

Newspaper/table cloth: ffs.

I'm not gonna bother any further except on my own which may or msg not be on the list:

Torn nylons/tights: good supports for melons and squash if you're growing them up a trellis.

Cardboard: to start a new garden bed, wet two layers of cardboard (I mean soak em), cover area, cover with like 2-4" of mulch. It'll smother the sod/weeds surprisingly well. If you want to keep new saplings clear of weeds you can do the same circling the sapling.

All that bike inner tube stuff they had = (eye roll). SO goes through those like mad but I'm pretty damn sure cutting them up for "rubber bands" would be a waste of life. Unlike posting on Fark of course.

Just a little eco friendly tip.

The hookers might be contaminated... I'd plant them near ornamental gardens only.

This is how to do a milkjug right.

Holy crap your ideas are actually intriguing to me. The SO used to work in the garden section of a local grocery so we have more trays/cells/pots than we'd ever need but still, awesome. I need to get back on garden web.

/currently in my backyard looking at row covers//and just about to throw 372 native plant seeds in trays outdoors to soak up a day of sun///YAY ALMOST NOT WINTER

Chilled bacon grease also works in any situation where you would use crisco; I use it to make flour tortillas that taste better than anything you can buy at a store or restaurant. Feeding it to the birds, now THAT would be wasteful.

I just don't save it anymore - I plan to use it or under the sink it goes. Bacon for breakfast + immediately start refried beans for dinner though = yum. Haven't done that in awhile... Hmm.

Boy, am I embarrassed for you. None of my hookers are contaminated because I use a condom and I wipe my chain saw blades down with an alcohol solution. Duh.

And everyone knows that kids who are trick or treating for UNICEF are what makes an ornamental garden really pop. Could you just give the enitire gardening process some thought before you post silly comments.

Wow. Rename this one "50 ways to fill your house with useless crap". Half of these don't even make sense, or even work for that matter.

Silica gel doesn't magically make water go away. It basically just prevents condensation in an already-dry sealed package that might get cold during transportation. And once you open that dry sealed package, the silica gel saturates just from moisture in the air within a few minutes. Yes, you can reactivate it; no, you can't just throw an old used packet in with X and have it do a damned thing beyond take up room.

And this recycling of old clothes... I throw away clothes when they become damaged beyond usability. Unravel and re-knit a sweater? Out of 6000 18" pieces of yarn? Can you say "more time than sense"? Similarly, weaving t-shirt strips? Sorry, but I tend to buy clothes so I don't look homeless.

Ok, I will admit that if something can be re-used, I will try to get a second life out of it. But, only if it will involve minimal effort. For example, I got a little plastic carton of French's fried onion bits as a gag gift. Once the yummy bits were eaten, the little carton became a first-aid kit for the car. It's little, holds ointment, bandaids, tweezers, etc., and is mostly waterproof. But, reweaving cloth? Are you freaking kidding me!?!

well, a lot of that stuff i recycle. i cant re-use ALL of it ALL the time but I do keep things like that for later. but honestly, that was mostly a list of things women might do. men arent going to make old sweaters into mittens. they also arent going to make hamster toys or game board coasters (although ive tried scratched records into coasters/bowls) or use tea bags on puffy morning eyes. (yeah, yeah, that's sexist. and no, it's not a 100% kind of claim, just an honest critique of the 50 activities.)

I did like the swiffer t-shirt idea. I tossed a few swiffers in my day because i never got them to work well or better than a traditional mop (and i hated using too many towelettes) but it never occurred to me to try tshirts which i have in spades. also, a lot of the gardening stuff would be neat if i had a yard (live in an apt). i also should try to find old scrabble sets in Goodwills because they all have missing tiles. you could do some crafty mosaics with them. they aren't sealed so you can stain/paint them too. I like crafting a little but it can turn you into a hoarder-lite. every year i toss things that i held onto for many years thinking i'd eventually do something with it. then as soon as i toss it i have a wave of desire to make something.

did you see the list of birds? invasive, mean, vexing birds like starlings, crows, jays, ravens and noisy woodpeckers (even though they are less bothersome). but bacon grease could be good for trap lures for the possums or other furry garden pets getting to your chickens or garden. you just have to set up a good trap.

I know, right?

Seriously- here's an amazing suggestion- throw garbage out.

I guess you could build a life size replica of the great wall of China from used tampons if you put your mind to it. I don't think it's going to make the world a better place.

Yeah, I don't know about everyone else, but my cardinal rule for jewelry is that it needs to be pretty.

My cardinal rule(s) for jewelry are:

1. It must be gaudy.2. It must be able to spontaneously combust.3. Facial jewelry must never distract from my facial tattoos. Let's face it, if you have a facial tattoo, chances are you are not going to be all upset about a Bic lighter hanging from your nostril during an job interview. Don't let this happen. Always have the tattoos professionally removed PRIOR to the job interview. The lighter hanging from your nostril will now make everyone think: Wow, I should probably get get my nostril pierced so I can have a lighter dangling from it. It just screams "Classy".

No, that's a good depth to hide them, but your vegetables' roots won't reach that deep- a tree's might, eventually,... no, if you want to use a dead hooker for compost you really need to use the chipper/shredder to de-evidencify it, then work it in with the dirt as you go, with the same hands you used to strangle her in the first place. Some people even eschew the chipper and use a good clever, but really, who has the time these days. I guess it's a lost art.
